About

Founded in 1985, Powerline began as an underground hard rock/heavy metal mag, distributed mostly in record stores worldwide. As it evolved a few years later, it embraced more commercial hard rock (the popular genre at the time was classified as “hair bands”) and the mag was distributed as a high-gloss publication on American newsstands with a circulation of over 100K.

By 1992 the party was over. The magazine became defunct (for various reasons). The staff went onto other jobs. And the name gathered dust. Until now.

Now resurrected as Powerline A.D., Powerline modernizes itself by covering most forms of Rock music (truly "From Glam to Slam!"), as well as reminisce with the old days in the form of time-capsuled articles and experiences.
